Yes. Now that Wheezy has released Sid is once again very Unstable. The last year that Sid has been frozen has made Sid relatively "stable". But now the floodgates are open again and everyone is pushing changes, sometimes untested changes, into Sid again. For the next few months it will be exceptionally rough there as a year's worth of pending disruptive changes are pushed through. If you are using Sid then you must be able to track problems in the BTS and be able to use snapshot.debian.org to recover previous versions of packages and return to them as bugs appear. You might consider using Testing Jessie instead as it will be somewhat insulated from the thrash in Unstable Sid. Let the calamity begin! Bob
